Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

Jeep has been sitting for a long time, engine still turns, could easily run yet.
Body – front fenders are soft/crunchy. Hood and grill are ok.
Rest of body is super solid – made from 11-gage steel, from the floor up!
Body is prett well done, and looks pretty good. Very solid and super strong.

Not sure how much value is here?
“For sale is a Military Jeep M38, according to the seriel no. It should be a 53 or 54 model. The Jeep does not run and is being sold as is. The engine is missing some parts and will need repair. The body has very little rust, spot on the passenger floor and on the side panel beside the floor. This vehicle does not have a title.”

Hasn’t run in years. Seller says to make offer.
“Up for sale is a 1952 M38A1 military Jeep. The last time it ran was 2010 and was parked due to having a problem with the rear axle. The would be a nice restoration job on a VERY desired Jeep. Some surface rust, nothing major, plow comes with it. Make me an offer! From the research I did it’s worth about 2,000$ in the condition it’s in.”

“1952 Willys Jeep/ M38A1 (former Military/early CJ) converted to Brush Fire pumper somewhere along the way. I don’t have much history on this vehicle. But, Drives great, pump disconnected for now, but does work. New Paint 2 years ago. (NOTE; PHOTOS SHOW FORMER UPPER HOSE TRAY, HOSE REEL AND TANK WHICH HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND SCRAPPED, REPLACED WITH SECOND SEAT IN REAR WITH MATCHING FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY) Now a GREAT truck for parades with the family, cruising the beach, hills, or wherever. Fits in any garage!
